Kung Fu nuns teach self-defense as rape rises in Indian Himalayas

Buddhist nuns in India's remote Himalayan region of Ladakh teach around 100 girls and young women the martial art of Kung Fu amid rising reports of rape in India.

Meet the Kung Fu nuns -- a group of Buddhist nuns who are not only using their martial arts skills to challenge gender roles in this conservative culture, but also to teach women self defense as reports of rape rise in India.

Unlike other nuns, their chants and prayers are followed by jabs and thrust kicks.
